NAIROBI, DECEMBER 11, 2014(CISA) – Leaders of Mainstream Christian Churches in Kenya have called on Muslims promote religious tolerance and help curb radicalization of youth in the country.
They noted how these attacks perpetuated by people claiming to be Al shabaab are taking a religious angle.
“The attacks which initially targeted Christian places of worship in Nairobi, Garissa and Mombasa are now directly targeting innocent Christians in public transport and their places of work,” said the church leaders.
While acknowledging the challenges facing the country’s security organs in fighting terrorism, the leaders decried poor coordination between the National Intelligence Security Service, the Kenya Police Service and the entire police service.
They further urged politicians to desist politicizing issues of national security and called for “sober, realistic, debate on insecurity meant to foster national unity.”
